WELCOME TO THE NORTHUMBRIAN ASSOCIATION

STRENGTH FROM THE PAST - VISION FOR THE FUTURE

We are passionate about Northumbria-North East England.

We seek to promote and celebrate the Heritage and Culture of our great region.

Every year we organise a walk to celebrate Saint Cuthbert’s Day, March 20th. We walk from Chester-le-Street to Durham Cathedral via Finchale Abbey and, weather permitting, have St Cuthbert's banner leading the final procession from the Market Place in Durham.

If you visit Durham cathedral you can see the splendid Saint Cuthbert’s bannerthat the Association commissioned from local designers and craftsmen.

You can read of the amazing work of Northumbrians young and old at Awards-Writers.

As part of our celebration of what is good about the region we have the annual Hotspur Award. Why not propose a person or organisation for the Award?

If you are interested in our annual walk you can download a Cuddy’s Corse leaflet and map. It would be great to see you on the walk next year.

Keep an eye out for news of new developments in the Association as we look to build upon our past success.

We are a registered Charity run by local volunteers.

If you are passionate about Northumbria then why not give us your support - join us.

News

The Walk on 17 March 2018 saw, for the first time in six years, the weather turning against us. Walkers came prepared for the worst and were right to do so. Huge thanks to those that supported despite the snow and sleet.

Somewhat belatedly the details of past Writers Award winners and Hotspur Award winners have now been updated to include the 2017 winners. The lists can be accessed from the respective pages under the Awards tab.
